Great Britain’s women’s 4x400m relay team secured a bronze medal at the games in Rio. Eilidh Doyle, Anyika Anoura, Emily Diamond and Christine Ohuruogu followed in the footsteps of their 4x100m counterparts, who claimed a bronze medal earlier this week.

Liam Heath of Great Britain wins a gold medal in the Men's Kayak Single 200m

There was heartbreak for Tom Daley and his fans on Saturday when the 22-year-old stumbled in his quest for gold, failing to qualify for the final diving event in Rio. Daley, who has already won a bronze at this year’s games, had a disappointing round when he came 18th on the men’s 10m platform - six places short of the rank he needed to progress from the semi-final.

Bianca Walkden won Olympic taekwondo bronze in Rio, but Mahama Cho narrowly missed out on a medal, finishing fourth.

South African runner Caster Semenya won an Olympic gold medal in the 800m final. The 25-year-old has faced a difficult time in recent months as sporting authorities continue to disagree whether her performance is affected by her being hyperandrogenic - a medical condition characterised by excessive levels of male sex hormones, such as testosterone.

Daley fans fight homophobia

Tom Daley’s fans, including Harry Potter author J.K. Rowling, leapt to the Olympic diver’s defence on Saturday when he was targeted by homophobic abuse online after he failed to qualify for the semi-finals.

Britain's Tom Daley was targeted online by homophobic trolls after he failed to progress to the semi-finals in the men's 10m platform diving.

Online trolls disparaged the star and linked his performance to his sexuality.

One Christian ground suggesting that Daley’s “turning gay” had not done his athletics “any favours”.

Rowling was among the first to shoot down the homophobic abuse Daley was getting online.

Team GB’s Record-Breaking Success

Britain secured their 66th medal when the 4x400m women’s relay team came third. The bronze medal surpassed Team GB’s medal haul of 65 medals from four years ago.

Team GB had previously broken the record for its most successful overseas Olympics, beating the former record of 47 medals at the Beijing Games in 2008.

By acquiring their 66th medal, Team GB broke another record, becoming the first nation since the modern Olympic era began in 1896 to have won more medals at the summer Games immediately after hosting the event.
